That\u2019s because her husband, Jarryd Felton, was on the bag.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the final round of the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship, Green was tied with fellow Australian Minjee Lee for the lead and they played in the final pairing, along with Angel Yin. Green birdied the first hole at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore and she confidently played consistent golf all day Sunday. She never lost that lead.<\/p>\n<p>Green shot a three-under 69 to win the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship for the second time after lifting the trophy in 2024 as well. She shot 71-66-68-69 for a 14-under-par 274 and won by one shot over American Auston Kim. World No. 1 Jenno Thitikul tied for 31st place after winning in her native Thailand just a week ago. It was her worst finish since a missed cut at the U.S. Women\u2019s Open last summer.<\/p>\n<p>After the 29-year-old Green was showered with champagne by a contingent of Aussies, she hugged Felton. They did a cheers with bottles, then each took a sip. It was well-deserved as it\u2019s Green\u2019s first win with Felton as her caddie.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/2\/GettyImages-2264156959.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1772367310441.jpeg\" alt=\"2264156959\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Hannah Green and her caddie\/husband Jarryd Felton pose with the trophy on the 18th green after winning the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Ross Kinnaird<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really don\u2019t know what it is but I always enjoy my time in Singapore,\u201d Green told Golf Channel. \u201cSentosa is an amazing venue. You could putt on some of these tee boxes. It helps there are a lot of Australians that come out and support me. I also think having my husband on the bag was also very helpful, too \u2026 It was probably the most nervous I\u2019ve been on a golf course. It was really helpful having him by my side. It was also nice playing with Minjee, obviously a friend of mine. He did really well. I don\u2019t know if this is going to continue, my usual caddie Dave [Buhai] is still [my caddie] for everyone who still thinks this is a full-time thing, just to put that out there. But yes, obviously, he\u2019s done very well and we have a couple more tournaments to go. Hopefully, we can repeat this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a cool celebration between golfer and caddie, husband and wife. Felton is a professional golfer as well. He caddied for Green\u2014ranked 20th in the world\u2014 last week at the Honda LPGA Thailand, where Green tied for seventh. Felton was emotional as Green smiled throughout the trophy presentation. Green earned $450,000 for the victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was unbelievable. She obviously dug deep toward the end,\u201d Felton told Golf Channel. \u201cThe birdie on 15, felt like that\u2019s when she felt like she had a chance to win this tournament. We did what we needed to do down the stretch. She wanted to hit some shots and she hit them. She\u2019s so good under pressure. It\u2019s everything I wish I could be as a player as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green made a five-foot eagle putt on No. 8 to take a three-shot lead and eventually led by four. Things got close at the end as Green bogeyed three of the last five holes. By the time she got to the 72nd hole, she needed just two putts to win, and that\u2019s exactly what she delivered.<\/p>\n<p>The victory surely was big for Green\u2019s confidence since she had a winless 2025, despite 29 different players having victories. Green\u2019s last win came at the BMW Ladies Championship in 2024. She\u2019s now won in Singapore twice and also twice at the JM Eagle LA Championship in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hannah Green is LOCKED in today, and widens the lead with this eagle \ud83d\ude4c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AvKjuTV6wX\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/AvKjuTV6wX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LPGA (@LPGA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LPGA\/status\/2027964673266536886?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If history is an indicator, this should be another big year for Green. After she and Felton married in January of 2024, Green won three events that season. She moved to as high as No. 5 in the world rankings, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got married two years ago but this is a pretty good day, too,\u201d Felton said.<\/p>\n<p>They both were nervous, but it didn\u2019t show. Green\u2019s focus will now be on the majors. She missed the cut in three of five majors last season and a tie for 12th in the U.S. Women\u2019s Open was her best finish.<\/p>\n<p>Green won the KPMG Women\u2019s PGA Championship in 2019 and has longed for another major over the last nearly seven years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sets up your year,\u201d Green said. \u201cYou can kind of change your scheduled and prioritize your everything for the majors. It\u2019s nice to hit the ground running. I might have to change my goals now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on golfdigest.com<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hannah Green has won seven LPGA events, but this one was extra special.
